Become a River Champion

Support the work of Stream Teams United to create a culture of river conservation in Missouri by becoming a
Stream Teams United River Champion.  Learn more about our work in our organization's brochure.
River Champion levels are named after aquatic species of conservation concern in Missouri.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Stream Teams United since our founding in 1999! The Missouri Stream Team Watershed Coalition extends our sincere appreciation to Pat Jones, for her many years of support of Missouri Stream Teams and our coalition. In 2019, we began recognizing our supporters as River Champions. 

Thank you to our 2019-2021 River Champions, sponsors, grantors, and
​partnering organizations. 

Thank you for your generous support of river conservation programs in Missouri! You can join this list of River Champions today! ​​
